A prisoner at Wrexham jail tried to hide a mobile phone between his buttocks.

Dylan Lo had been made to remove his boxer shorts so that he could be searched.

A prison guard at HMP Berwyn shouted ‘phone’ after seeing it sticking out of 22-year-old Lo’s behind.

A struggle broke out, and convicted drug dealer Lo then apparently tried to force the phone further up his bottom.

He had to be handcuffed before he would co-operate.

Lo was serving a six-year sentence for drugs offences when the incident happened.

Today at Mold crown court his sentence was extended.

Within a few weeks of arriving at Berwyn from another category C prison, he was caught with drugs on him, including spice and cannabis.

Following that incident in May 2017, he was caught with the phone in September.

Henry Hills, defending, said that his client had pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity.

There had clearly been delays in the case, he said.

The drugs offences in May occurred shortly after he arrived at HMP Berwyn from another category C prison and his explanation was that at that time he was “anxious and disorientated” and he resorted to the use of drugs.

Again, he let himself down in September when he was in possession of the mobile phone in prison.

Mr Hills said that he was instructed that at the time there had been numerous infringements by various inmates and the majority of them were dealt with internally.
